2. Apparently it was filmed originally in 35mm, so it has made the jump...
to HD looking pretty good.

3. I don't even know if we have HDNET
We're switching from DISH Network to Time Warner Cable later this month. Enjoy watching it!

4. Edward Woodward was incredible.
Edited on Wed Sep-12-07 02:26 PM by Aristus
He loved working on the show, apparantly. Some of his British colleagues upbraided him for doing American television, and he really ripped into them. Said the work was great, the pay was staggering, and the fans were the best in the world.

When he suffered a heart attack mid-way through the show's run, he received close to a thousand get well cards from his fans. He didn't return to work until he had answered them all personally. the man was a class act. He is missed.

On edit: I checked imdb and Wikipedia, and apparantly, he is still alive! I could have sworn he died a number of years ago. Am I crazy?

6. He was in Hot Fuzz (which came out a few months ago)
He seemed pretty "living" in that.

He'll always be Sgt. Howie from The Wicker Man to me...

5. HDNET and HDNET Movies are both great sources of HD programming
I've watched quite a few movies and TV shows, in all of their HD splendor, thanks to both of the channels.
